SOUTH CAROLINA DIOCESE
THE COLOR LINE ESTABLISHED
By THE CONVENTION
Held In Columbia the Absorbing
Topic NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Preached About 1t.

COLUMBIA, S. O., May 16.-The Epis
copsl Diocesan Convention, which ad.
journed Saturday evening, is the alb,
sorbing topic everywhere, and was
dwelt upon in number of sermonf
yesterday. The great majority oil
Episcopaliaps are in deadly opposition
to the negro being admitted into con-
ventions, and the preachers have but
few friends in the stand which they
have taken. It is asserted by their lay
opponents that if the Lego is allowed
to vote in the conventions in ten or
fifteen years he will govern the body.
A proposition has been made by some
lay members to organic and discharge
ali the preachers opposed to them and
favoring the admission of the colored
man into the convention, aud TO elect
ministers who would vote to exclude
the negro. There is much bitter feel
ing, and general smash up would not
be surprising.
